The core team at Kandra Labs

Over 400 people have contributed to the Zulip
codebase, from high school students to 30 year
industry veterans, from people launching new careers
to people looking for community. Meet the leadership
below!

Tim Abbott

Founder and project leader

Before Zulip, Tim was a founder and CTO of
Ksplice, which provided rebootless linux
kernel updates (a feat many previously thought
impossible) to over 100,000 production
servers. He was also the youngest ever
Architect at Oracle, one of the most senior
engineers at Dropbox and has been active in
the open source community for over a
decade. Tim has three degrees from MIT, and
lives in San Francisco with his wife and
daughter.

Kandra Labs

Kandra Labs provides commercial Zulip hosting and on-premises support
at https://zulipchat.com,
and employs the core developers of the project. It was
started in June 2016 to help sustain the growth of the Zulip
project. Kandra Labs is funded by
an SBIR grant from
the US National Science Foundation.

Our amazing community

While the team at Kandra Labs provides important
leadership, Zulip is built by an incredible
distributed community of developers from all
around the world. You can read about
the project's history if
you want to learn more about Zulip's origins.

Here, we recognize the top contributors to the
Zulip server project on GitHub. Zulip's community
is unusual in how many people outside the core
team have made major contributions to the project.
